Canada day July 1. Independence Day July 4. False Flag potential always present

CIA Director John Brennan is warning that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria wants to conduct Istanbul-style attacks in the United States

I am worried from the standpoint of an intelligence professional who looks at the capabilities of Daesh … and their determination to kill as many as people as possible and to carry out attacks abroad,” Brennan told Yahoo News. Daesh is an acronym for the Arabic name of ISIS.

CIA Director John Brennan

Brennan explained to Yahoo News that he believes the terror group will continue to try to penetrate American defenses.

“You look at what happened in the Turkish airport, these were suicide vests. It’s not that difficult to actually construct and fabricate a suicide vest … so if you have a determined enemy and individuals who are not concerned about escape, that they are going into it with a sense that they are going to die, that really does complicate your strategy in terms of preventing attacks,”the CIA director said.

“I’d be surprised if Daesh is not trying to carry out that kind of attack in the United States,” Brennan added.

I find that to be an extremely irresponsible, flippant statement unless Brennan has some sort of insider knowledge aka MIHOP

Brennan stated that the U.S. hasn’t been able to tamp down ISIS’ global reach.
“We’ve yet to really thwart Daesh’s ability to reach beyond the
Syria-Iraqi borders and put in place some of the plans and preparations
to carry out attacks,” Brennan told Yahoo News. “I am very concerned we
have not had the success against Daesh in that environment as we’ve had
in the core areas of Syria and Iraq.

Brennan also said the terror group is “more determined” to carry out
operations in Europe and beyond to “offset” setbacks and losses of
territory in Syria and Iraq.“Over the past year-and-a-half they have made a more determined
effort to carry out attacks abroad, and we see in terms of their plans,
their preparations, the movement of people as well as propagandizing
outside, exhorting, inciting a much more determined effort to carry out
these external operations,” Brennan told Yahoo News.ISIS has yet to confirm they were behind the attack, but Turkish and
U.S. officials believe the group planned the suicide bombings at the
Istanbul airport.

As of this morning I believe ISIS still has not confirmed they were behind the attack- However the seeds are being planted to provide us with that conclusion. The CIA is very good at manipulating your beliefs and managing your perception.

Also: Brennan is acknowledging that all the security is a fail. Unsurprisingly

Sheesh I feel as if this week has been one long running drama unfolding like a soap opera.

Who is claiming ISIS was the perpetrator, without evidence and no claims to fame to the attack? ISIS hasn’t claimed ownership.Instead we get the CIA head and his lackey in Turkey- Yildrim telling us who done the deed.

So, here we are, more than twenty-four hours after three suicide bombers killed at least forty-one people at Ataturk International Airport and no one has stepped forward—neither ISIS nor anyone else. Why not?

Shortly after the attack, Turkey’s Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that ISIS was the main suspect. But he didn’t offer any evidence to buttress his claim, and he hasn’t said anything since. John Brennan, the head of the C.I.A., told Yahoo News that he thought that ISIS was probably the culprit—but, like Yildirim, he showed us no proof.

So who did it? It’s not inconceivable that the attack was carried out by someone other than ISIS—namely, the Kurdish Workers Party, or P.K.K.

That’s my pick for perp- PKK, TAK. YPG- Any alphabet named Kurdish militia affiliated with NATO and there are plenty of them to choose from- Though I’ve already suggested TAK (no difference from PKK) But they outright said they were going to make Turkey unsafe for tourists. And the US didn’t say a word about their threat!- Sort of like when Israel commits atrocities and the silence is deafening.

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all
records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became
truth: All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory"

Back to the New Yorker's latest

If the facts ultimately show that ISIS indeed carried out the Istanbul attacks—and if the group maintains its silence—it will also illuminate the deeply complex relationship between ISIS and Turkey that has evolved over the past five years.

"ISIS owes its existence in part to the Turkish government".-NOT TRUE

ISIS was born in Iraq

"Turkey became the main conduit for the tens of thousands of foreigners who flocked to Syria"- Correct- And who was at the border waving them through? The CIA of course. NATO special forces. Israelis. And others who used the border of a NATO nation as if it was their own. Because ISIS is a NATO supported shock troop- With the US as it's master.

Erdoğan, once a friend of the Assad regime, made the decision that his
old friend needed to go, and he was willing to do almost anything to see
that happen.- BULLOCKS!!

"At the same time, ISIS militants were able to set up networks inside Turkey itself"At any one of the NATO bases that occupy Turkish territory- I've written about this

If your interested in the official narrative being spoon fed to you- feel free to read the nonsense at the New Yorker! If you wish to accept the lie be my guest!

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all
records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became
truth: All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory"

It truly look as if I called this one correctly long, long ago- Turkey has been targeted for destabilization- In order to remake the Middle East in the most blood thirsty way imaginable and NATO led US has been at the helm the entire time!

I suggested yesterday that by putting the blame on ISIS, the implementation of the Syrian No Fly Zone could be triggered- Read: Attack On Istanbul: Ataturk Airport- The Death Toll Climbs: Updated To battle ISIS in Syria and to assist Turkey with border control - At least that will be the lie told via the war mongering/agenda promoting media. The reality, that’s been discussed here, is remaking the middle east. Destroying existing nations states to creating Kurdistan or as I like to call it Israel 2.0..

Recall the State Dept Dissent Memo? Sure you do! Lots of main stream and alt coverage.In all that coverage, what aspect of the memo went largely ignored?The case for a no fly zone!

7. (SBU) Third, putting additional constraints on the regime’s ability to bomb and shell both fighting forces and the unambiguously civilian targets would have a direct, mitigating impact on the refugee and IDP crisis. This crisis has deeply affected Syria’s neighbors for years and is now impacting our European partners in far-reaching ways that may ultimately jeopardize their very character as open, unified, and democratic societies. Even in the United States, the crisis in Syria has lent credence to prejudiced ideologies that we thought had been discredited years ago. Furthermore, the calm that would ensue after the regime’s warplanes are grounded would lessen the importance of armed actors, strengthen civil society throughout the country, and open the space for increased dialogue among communities.

Criticism, allegedly?

Research by Micah Zenko of the Council on Foreign Relations found that airstrikes account for only a fraction of deaths in Syria. Mr. Zenko also found that no-fly zones tend to escalate wars rather than calm them.

Clearly an escalation of war is desired by the NATO crowd. Order out of chaos.
Making a no fly zone ideal.

I talked up the no fly zone at the time of the memo release because it seemed vastly more important then the limited hang out coverage, main stream and alt, of the dissenters memo.

Turkey has adjusted its military rules of engagement to allow NATO
allies to carry out more patrol flights along its border with northern
Syria, a Turkish official said Tuesday.

What Turkish official said that?

"Some NATO countries,
especially Britain, complained that they could not perform enough patrol
flights on Turkey's Syrian border as the engagement rules were too
strict," the official told Reuters.

"After talks ... Turkey eased
these engagement rules to bring them in line with NATO policies," he
said. NATO was told about the move around three weeks ago, the official
said, but coalition countries had not yet carried out additional
flights.

Turkey eased engagement rules to bring them in line with NATO policies three weeks ago.

Which tells us when the US General said the no fly zone is ready to be implemented he was aware of the Turkish changes to military rules of engagement. No Fly Zone anybody?

UPDATE: ISIS has NOT taken credit or claimed the airport bombing as their own

hattip to hubby for finding me this article. Certainly ties into the recent news.

TOKYO -- Russia is growing nervous over European plans to build a massive natural gas pipeline all the way from the Caspian Sea, part of the region's attempt to curb its dependence on Russian gas amid the Ukraine crisis and other political differences.On May 17, representatives from major European nations attended a ceremony in the Greek city of Thessaloniki to celebrate the start of construction of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline, or TAP.

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Greece about a week later, likely to check on plans to create a separate route for delivering Russian gas via Greece and Italy to the rest of Europe.

Putin's decision to visit Greece shortly after the TAP ceremony reflects growing Russian concerns over the 900km pipeline, which will run from the Greek-Turkish border to Italy.

Major artery

The TAP will eventually be linked to the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline, or TANAP, which is currently under construction across Turkey, and then to the South Caucasus Pipeline connecting Turkey and Azerbaijan. Once completed, the three links will form the Southern Gas Corridor, bringing natural gas straight from Azerbaijan to Europe.

The amount of Azeri gas reaching Europe is only expected to reach 5% of total Russian shipments to the region. But reserve-rich Iran could funnel gas from its existing pipeline in Turkey to TANAP and TAP once they are completed. The Southern Gas Corridor could become a major artery for Central Asian and Middle Eastern natural gas headed to Europe.

Russia has been attempting to curb these developments. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has voiced concerns of the impact another European Union-led plan to construct a pipeline across the Caspian Sea will have on the region's interests. The proposed line would link Turkmenistan, which has the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves, to TANAP in Azerbaijan, bringing vast amounts of Turkmen gas to Europe and loosening Russia's grip on its largest market.

Moscow has built up pressure on other Caspian nations, and state-owned gas company Gazprom abruptly cut imports from Turkmenistan by about 60% in 2015. The move only fueled distrust in Russia and led Turkmenistan to seek other buyers for its fuel. Even Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appears supportive of the trans-Caspian pipeline. Yet Russia maintains that all nations bordering the sea, including itself, must first agree to the link, and shows no signs of budging.

Russia has not given up on sending gas to Europe by bypassing Ukraine, even after it abandoned the South Stream pipeline project through Bulgaria in 2014. The TurkStream project fell apart last year when bilateral relations with Turkey soured after a Russian jet was shot down. But Moscow is still pursuing a possible pipeline with Greece and the NordStream 2 project to Europe across the Baltic Sea.

During a June visit to Russia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the "doors are open" for any company, including from Russia, to take part in developing the massive Leviathan gas field off the coast of Israel. Putin had asked Netanyahu during the latter's previous visit in April whether Gazprom could participate in the project.

Israeli media accused Russia of trying to block the country's exports, and warned that Moscow could use the project as an excuse to demand the passage of Russian warships through the Mediterranean Sea. Putin has met Netanyahu four times in the past year and called for an anti-terror partnership in an attempt to woo Israel.

But Israel-Turkey ties are on the mend, after cooling in 2010 over an Israeli raid on a Turkish flotilla. The two countries are reportedly close to a deal that would send Israeli gas to Turkey, a Russian rival. And Europe is receiving more fuel shipments from Qatar. The region is steadily cutting its dependence on Russian gas, adding to Putin's frustrations.

Russia's big challenge used to be the Nabucco pipeline, (looks to be failed) an older proposal by Europe for sending Caspian gas into the region. The project failed to attract corporate interest and has since been replaced by TANAP. But Putin still seems to be battling the ghosts of that failed pipeline named after a despotic king from a Verdi opera.

"In
the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, the Israelites bewail their fate:
Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), king of Assyria, has attacked them with his
hordes and is desecrating the city. As they offer prayers, Zaccaria
(Zacharius), their high priest, enters with his sister, Anna, and
Nabucco's daughter, Fenena, whom the Jews hold hostage."

"Nabucco the king of Assyria has attacked the city in which is daughter is held hostage

At the time I didn't realize the connection between the hatred the "Israelites" have for the Assyrians- Though all those years ago the name Nabucco struck me as curious and somehow connected- I'm certainly more enlightened at this time!!

Came across this from Daily Caller- Daily Caller got the video footage from the twitter feed from someone named Gilgo

The video, which began circulating on Twitter and elsewhere shortly
after the attack, shows people running away from a man who appears to be
running through the airport with a gun. Suddenly, the man drops to the
ground, apparently after being shot, and drops his gun, which slides
beyond his reachGilgo is of course a self proclaimed Kurdish activist

The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK), an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdistan
Workers Party (PKK) militant group, said Friday it carried out a
suicide bombing in Turkey's biggest city Istanbul this week that killed
11 people.

A car bomb ripped through a police bus in
central Istanbul during the morning rush hour on Tuesday near the main
tourist district, a major university and the mayor's office.

TAK
also warned in a statement that although it was not deliberately
targeting foreigners, Turkey was no longer safe for tourists.

Turkey
is the world's sixth-biggest tourist destination but has seen a sharp
drop off following a spate of bombings that have killed hundreds of
people in the last 12 months
-TAK comes right out and says, yah we did it! And we're going to keep on doing it !Killing civilians. Terrorizing a nation. Destroying it’s tourist industry.Destroying it’s history.

Kurds/ISIS makes no difference to me- TAK made it clear they were going to continue targeting Turkey even destroying their tourism industry "Turkey no longer safe for tourists"
Attacking an airport would surely drive that message home!

Last night after posting I also left a comment: If this attack was perpetrated by ISIS then it's entirely possible the destabilization campaign currently employed against Turkey is going to get worse.

Turkish
investigators pored over video footage and witness statements on
Wednesday after three suspected Islamic State suicide bombers opened
fire and blew themselves up in Istanbul's main airport, killing 41
people and wounding 239.The attack on Europe's third-busiest airport was the deadliest in a series of suicide bombings this year in Turkey

One attacker opened fire in the departures
hall with an automatic rifle, sending passengers diving for cover and
trying to flee, before all three blew themselves up in or around the
arrivals hall a floor below, witnesses and officials said.Video
footage showed one of the attackers inside the terminal building being
shot, apparently by a police officer, before falling to the ground as
people scattered. The attacker then blew himself up around 20 seconds
later."It's a jigsaw puzzle ... The authorities are going through CCTV footage, witness statements," a Turkish official said.

Yildrim provides the information regarding ISIS

"This attack, targeting innocent people is a
vile, planned terrorist act,"Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told
reporters at the scene in the early hours of Wednesday morning."There
is initial evidence that each of the three suicide bombers blew
themselves up after opening fire," he said. The attackers had come to
the airport by taxi and preliminary findings pointed to Islamic State
responsibility"

Very deceiving. Read entirely before commenting please and thanks! I've left the best for last.

rap·proche·ment/?rap?roSH'män,?rap?rôSH'män/noun (especially in international relations) an establishment or resumption of harmonious relations.

After paying particular attention to the news of Turkey and Israel making nice to one another. I’ve come to the conclusion that whoever did the negotiating for Turkey- negotiated AGAINST Turkish interests. By Turkish interests I am referencing the nationalist state of TurkeyThis one sided agreement greatly benefits ISRAEL!Keep in mind that President Erdogan,as President, is a largely ceremonial or symbolic. position. I’ve mentioned this on at least two or three different occasions- The PM looks to be the real power holder. Again, Erdogan's Presidency is Symbolic!!!!

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday approved a new government formed by one of his most (allegedly) trusted allies, who immediately asserted his intention to institute constitutional reforms that would expand the powers of the presidency, the Associated Press reports”

Asserting an intention is NOT the same as getting the job done! I’ll bold the very important information. The facts. Below

Binali Yildirim, 60, formerly minister of transport and communications, replaces Ahmet Davutoglu, who stepped down on Sunday amid a range of differences with the president, including Davutoglu’s apparently less-than-enthusiastic stance toward an overhaul of the constitution to give the largely ceremonial presidency executive powers.

The LARGELY CEREMONIAL PRESIDENCY

Digression:

I recently mentioned the largely ceremonial presidency of Erdogan in an exchange with 'bunch of monkeys'

Erdoğan wants to change the
Turkish constitution to turn the ceremonial role of president into that
of a chief executive, a Turkish version of the system in the United
States, France or Russia.

We should all be clear now that Erdogan is NOT the power in TurkeyDigression ended

The new government — which Yildirim is widely believed to have formed in consultation with Erdogan —

Yildirim is WIDELY BELIEVED to have formed the government in consultation with Erdogan. Yah, well Santa Claus is WIDELY BELIEVED in also. Widely believed does not necessarily inform us of fact, it merely informs us of that which is believed. By who, I don't know?

An unnamed public official from Turkey is cited repeatedly. I cannot verify if the official is actually from Turkey. Or NATO. There is no information what so ever on the unnamed individual alleged to be from Turkey. While Benjamin Netanyahu is mentioned as is John Kerry.

I will highlight this anomaly:

Officials from both countries said late Sunday that negotiators in Rome
had reached a deal that will be made public in Jerusalem and Ankara on
Monday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Rome to meet with Secretary of State John Kerry and discuss the agreement.

At a briefing in Rome on Monday morning with Mr. Kerry, ​the Israeli
leader called it an important step toward normalizing relations that
would have​”immense implications” for Israel’s economy.He didn’t
provide further details but was scheduled to speak at a news conference
later in the day.
“It’s a positive step we wanted,” Mr. Kerry said. “We hope it’s the beginning of others.”

Pay attention to the named individuals vs the unnamed individuals?

The deal won’t end the tight controls Israel imposed on Gaza’s borders
in 2007 to hold Hamas militarily in check—a concession Turkey had
demanded.

A concession Turkey demanded but failed to have granted!

Israel will also make it possible for Turkey to launch major development
projects in the West Bank, a Palestinian territory whose borders are
also controlled by Israel, a senior Turkish official said.(Who is this Turkish official? Can't be verified)

If Israel wants, they will make it possible for what ever is left of Turkey to launch some sort of development projects

“There are absolutely no references to Hamas in the agreement. Turkey
will continue supporting the Palestinian state and the people of
Palestine... We are pleased to announce that representatives of the
Palestinian government and Hamas have voiced their support to Turkey
within the context of the negotiations,” the Turkish official said early
Monday.(Who is this Turkish official? Can't be verified)

The Turkey-Israel talks accelerated after the falling out with Russia,
one of Turkey’s biggest trading partners. Since then, Turkey has been
looking to diversify its energy sources and ease its dependence on
Russian natural gas.

Hmmm, just like the EU.

During negotiations, Turkey and Israel
discussed a proposed pipeline that would move Israeli gas to Turkey and
on to Europe. Such a project isn’t part of the deal to be announced on
Monday, but talks on a pipeline are expected to continue.

That would remove Russia from it's role as supplier to the EU, wouldn't it?

Turkey, which allows Hamas to maintain offices in its territory, is now in a strong position to play a mediating role, said Ofra Bengio,
a senior research fellow at the Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and
Africa Studies and senior lecturer in the Department of Middle Eastern
History at Tel Aviv University.

Ofra Bengio? Where have I heard or read that name previously? Of course, Israel, the Kurds & Kurdistan.

Below is the third piece, followed by second and then the first article featured at the blog by Ofra Bengio:

Turkey to drop it's objection to Israel being officially a part of NATO

The
agreement on normalization obliges Turkey to promote integration of
Israel into the international organizations where the Turkish side has
its membership, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu stated, RIA
Novosti reported.He particularly indicated that the rapprochement of two countries has
already led to the fact that Ankara withdrew objections against opening
of an Israeli Mission to the NATO headquarters in Brussels.Last month, Israel has received Alliance’s proposal to open permanent mission in Brussels and accepted this invitation.

Vladimir Putin has received a letter in which Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan apologized for the death of the Russian pilot who was killed when a Russian jet was downed over the Syrian-Turkish border last November, the Kremlin said.

Erdogan expressed readiness to restore relations with Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
“The head of the Turkish state expressed his deep sympathy and condolences to the relatives of the deceased Russian pilot and said ‘sorry,’” Peskov said.

Updated!

Putin and Erdogan- random image

In his letter, Erdogan called Russia “a friend and a strategic partner” of Ankara, with whom the Turkish authorities would not want to spoil relations.“We never had a desire or a deliberate intention to down an aircraft belonging to Russia,” the letter read, according to a statement published on the Kremlin website.

According to the statement, Erdogan’s letter stressed that “the
Turkish side undertook all the risks and made a great effort to recover
the body of the Russian pilot from the Syrian opposition, bringing it to
Turkey. The organization of the pre-burial procedures was conducted in
accordance with all religious and military procedures.”

Ankara has treated the family of the dead Russian pilot as if it were a Turkish family and is “ready for any initiatives to relieve the pain and severity of the damage done,” the letter said.
The
address by the Turkish leader also informed that a criminal
investigation has been launched against the person suspected of killing
the Russian pilot, the Kremlin said.

In addition, Erdogan expressed readiness to tackle security challenges in the region and fight terrorism together with Moscow.

Turkish
Hurriyet newspaper reported that sources close to Erdogan have
confirmed that the letter with the apology was sent to Moscow

The news of Erdogan’s apology had a positive effect on Turkey’s
currency. The Turkish lira rallied to 2.9330 from 2.9430 against the US
dollar, Reuters reported.

Turkey's foreign minister, Mevlut
Cavusoglu, will take part in a meeting of the foreign ministers of the
Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, due to take place in
the Russian resort of Sochi on July 1, Turkish NTV channel reported.

An invitation to participate in the event was sent to Cavusoglu by Russia’s Foreign Ministry last week.

Note the fact that the apology came after an invitation to, but ahead of a scheduled July 1 meeting of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation- Indicating relations were normal- So why apologize at this time? Other then as an exercise in public relations?

Lecture 3 of my series on the entirety of Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope takes
us into the period of the Bolshevik Revolution and the rise of
Stalinism, as well as the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. In this talk, I
cover Quigley’s thesis, as well as my own insights about the occult
dimensions of these buildups (he leaves out), and the role of the
Illuminists. Compared to Kerry Bolton’s essay, we can understand how
Russia and Germany were both Imperial problems for the Atlanticists, and
how both needed to be destroyed for the success of the Western shadow
empire, an occult empire.

If you haven't heard the first two parts you can get them at Jay's place. Link Above.
I've also had them posted here-

RIYADH: Turkish Ambassador to the Kingdom Yunus Demirer said there is
coordination in place between his country and Saudi Arabia to turn back
Saudis who head for the war zones in Syria, noting that recently a
number of people of different nationalities were arrested while trying
to infiltrate conflict zones to join the Daesh terrorist group.

The
ambassador said the Turkish government is exerting extensive efforts to
peacefully return these Saudis and hand them over to the Kingdom without
any insult or disrespectful action, a local publication reported.

“Saudi
Arabia and Turkey both strongly realize that what is happening in Syria
is affecting both countries and every single Saudi living in these
areas must be brought back and prevented from joining these terrorist
groups again,” said the ambassador.

He said the Saudi and Turkish
policies on the Syrian issue are identical as the intentions of the two
countries involve bringing peace back to the Arab and Islamic world.

“We stand alongside Saudi Arabia with the refugees because of their
difficult situation now, and there must be an international position to
stop the war. As the whole world now knows, Turkey has more than 400,000
Syrian refugees, and we cooperate with Saudi Arabia to end the war. I
personally think that the international community is keen on achieving
peace and security in this country,” he asserted.

He said the
Saudi-Turkish relations have deepened recently with the Saudi and
Turkish people sharing many mutual features, mainly the Islamic religion
and cooperation in all areas.He stressed the fact that his country
rejects attempts to harm Saudi Arabia and denied the existence of
economic rivalries between the two countries.

“We complement each
other in our economic relationship and there will be improved and
continued relations and cooperation in areas of trade between Saudi and
Turkish companies,” he added.

"Loved the little clip of Joe Biden in that documentary! The problem in the region is our allies- Yup, it was them that wanted Assad gone- Not the little old USA.... Oh, no the US is all about peace, sunshine, rainbows and ponies..... Let’s blame Turkey and Saudi Arabia. And that’s exactly what Biden did!Never you mind about all the weapons the CIA was distributing at the border- Irrelevant! And those weapons that the US was shipping out of Libya?Right out of the Consulate in Benghazi? The US covered their tracks, in that instance, resulting in the death of Christopher Stevens.
Good thing he was gay, because it gave the PR machine lots of
opportunity to play the weaponized homosexual card while demonizing
Libya, while covering up the weapons smuggling and oil deals. Yup, when life gives you lemons, you make lots and lots of lemonade.Mr Biden must have forgotten all about that. He hopes you have. But, I haven’t. And you shouldn’t either"

Notice any others spinning the Biden meme of the problem in the region is our 'allies', no mention of Israel, though? I'll give you one hint- Link. But could give you several from that site alone.

So here we have Saudi Arabia and Turkey working to turn back fighters from entering Syria these radicalized persons are a threat to both nations- What to make of that???

DUBAI—Saudi Arabia has hired J.P. Morgan, HSBC and Citigroup to help sell its debut international bond, a person familiar with the matter said on Sunday, as the kingdom seeks to shore up its finances hurt by low oil prices.

Saudi Arabia has already secured a $10 billion loan from a consortium of international lenders in April and has sold debt to its domestic banks.

Saudi Arabia and its Persian Gulf neighbors—whose principal source of revenue stems from the sale of oil and gas—are increasingly borrowing from international markets as government finances are under strain due to a prolonged period of low energy prices.

Qatar last month sold $9 billion worth of bonds, while Oman recently raised $2.5 billion and the emirate of Abu Dhabi preceded them with a $5 billion bond sale.

All the GCC nations have been issuing bonds recently

The kingdom’s finance minister earlier this month said the country was preparing to tap international markets for the first time.

Fund managers and bankers have speculated Saudi Arabia’s bond size may exceed Qatar’s $9 billion, but the Saudi minister said then there was no decision on the final amount the country wished to raise.

“As of now, the size is undetermined, it will depend on market appetite,” said the person familiar with the matter. The Saudis have also not decided on the exact timing of the bond sale, the person said.

Saudi Arabia’s ministry of finance wasn’t immediately available to comment.

Sovereign borrowing in the Gulf in on track to reach a record level this year in stark contrast to the past decade when the region was awash with petrodollars that these countries used to generate rapid economic growth.

Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s leading oil exporters, ran a budget deficit of nearly $100 billion last year as a result of the decline in crude prices. The kingdom has since then outlined a broad economic reform package, that includes selling state assets and raising taxes, aimed at reducing its dependence on oil. Until now, the country has plugged its deficit by drawing down its foreign assets by about $165 billion since August 2014 and by selling domestic bonds.

Without those measures and at the current pace of spending, the International Monetary Fund warned that Saudi Arabia could run out of funds within five years. Ratings firms have also downgraded the kingdom’s debt rating in recent months.

And yet, I look out my window and sure enough white clouds are hanging in my blue sky
The sky has not fallen! Not that I expected it to.

The media has done all it can to blame voters- rather then cite the many, many problems with the EU itself. The bloated costly bureaucracy that only serves elites, bankers and multinational corporations, which it was designed to do, at the expense of all others. Never mentioning the fact that quite likely life in Britain was better for the people before the EU, hence the outcome!Stated another way: If life was so great for Brits in the EU the Leave side would not have prevailed!

Hilarious headlines about the Brexit vote! OVER THE TOP- Fear and insults

Friday, June 24, 2016

Britain has voted to leave the European Union after a bitter campaign
that led to a stunning roller-coaster ride as results poured in
Thursday. The British pound was hammered on Asian markets, falling to
its lowest level in decades.

Prime Minister David Cameron, who called the in-or-out referendum to
deliver on a re-election promise, resigned only hours after the results
became official.

“I do not think it would be right for me to try
to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination,”
Cameron told reporters on Friday outside his Downing Street office.

Cameron, who choked back tears, gave no detailed timetable but said
there should be a new leader by the time his Conservative Party holds
its annual conference in October.

“This is not a decision I’ve
taken lightly but I do believe it is in the national interest to have a
period of stability and then the new leadership required,” he said.

The result of the so-called Brexit vote is the biggest political
upset in a generation, part of what is now a global wave of populist
movements challenging and defeating establishment politicians.
With
all 382 voting areas reporting, Leave defeated Remain by 52 per cent to
48 per cent. The margin between the two sides was more than 1.2 million
votes. Turnout was more than 70 per cent of eligible voters.

"The
dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom," exulted Nigel
Farage, head of the UK Independence Party and a leading voice in favour
of leaving the EU
"Let June 23 go down in our history as our independence day."The
results reveal a United Kingdom deeply divided between a pro-EU, more
cosmopolitan half and a working class that feels globalization and
unchecked immigration from the EU haven’t worked in its interest.

Disgusting. Clearly if you voted to stay you were "cosmopolitan" ( wealthy, wordly and sophisticated) But if you voted to leave you were "working class" ( poor, uneducated, simple)That's disgraceful and has been the tone of this vote all along. Since there are not that many 'cosmopolitan' persons in the UK, one would have to figure that some of the alleged cosmopolitan crowd did indeed vote to exit. Class wars

The
latter half voted in favour of a so-called “Brexit” over the advice of
the leaders of all four main British political parties, as well as U.S.
President Barack Obama, the World Bank and the International Monetary
Fund, among others.

Appeal to Authority.

Markets had surged in relief after the end of voting when a telephone
poll, carried out by the YouGov agency, showed the pro-EU Remain camp
with a 52 to 48 edge over the Vote Leave campaign. But the British pound
crashed once the official vote count started, as a series of early
results suggested the pollsters had gotten it wrong. The pound dropped
from $1.50 (U.S.) to $1.37, its lowest level since 1985, in a matter of
hours.
The shocks began in the industrial northeast of England,
where Sunderland – a former shipbuilding town – voted 61.3 per cent in
favour of Leave, a far bigger pro-“Brexit” vote than experts had
forecast.

Nearby Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, which had been expected to vote
solidly in favour of Remain, provided another surprise when the pro-EU
camp captured just 50.7 per cent.
Those results were subsequently
mirrored in dozens of working-class towns and cities across the north of
England where the Leave side did substantially better than pollsters
had forecast. Meanwhile, the pro-Remain margin in London was also bigger
than expected – over 75 per cent in some boroughs.

The polls were way out in favour of Exit ahead of the JC incident. Immediately preceding the JC crucifixion we were told the polls shifted to the remain side. Clearly they did not.

Turnout across
Britain was on pace for 72 per cent, according to the BBC.
Participation was lower than expected in London, which was battered by
thunderstorms that wreaked havoc on transportation Thursday, including a
prolonged closing of Waterloo Station, a hub for both the rail and
subway networks. Two polling stations had to be relocated on short
notice due to flooding as some areas in and around the capital received
almost a month’s worth of rain in a single day.
Early results from Scotland – another bastion of pro-EU sentiment – also showed turnout lagging that in pro-Brexit areas.
There
were divisions in the vote along national lines that could portend more
instability ahead. England, which accounts for 85 per cent of the total
vote, was leaning 55 per cent for Leave, as was Wales. Scotland voted
more than 60 per cent in favour of Remain – every Scotttish constituency
voted Remain – and Northern Ireland was 56 per cent pro-Remain.

The separatist Scottish National Party, which controls Scotland’s
devolved parliament, has said it would begin preparing for another
referendum on independence if the U.K. chose to Leave while Scotland
voted heavily in favour of Remain.
Similarly, Sinn Fein –
considered the political arm of the Irish Republican Army – warned that a
Brexit, and the possibility of new border controls between Northern
Ireland and EU member Ireland, would destabilize the peace process
there.
Mr. Cameron, who headed the Remain side, tried to emphasize
the economic risks the country would take if it quit the EU, which is
the world’s largest trading area. But many voters – particularly in
smaller English cities that have been challenged by mass immigration
from the continent – were drawn to Vote Leave’s argument that Britain
needed to control its own borders in order to curb immigration.
“So
far, the smaller towns that have been impacted heavily by large-scale
migration, the pushing down of wages, the fact that the EU hasn’t helped
them economically, are coming out en masse for the Leave campaign. You
saw that in Sunderland,” Steven Woolfe, a member of European Parliament
for the U.K. Independence Party, said as early results suggested voters
might indeed have opted for a Brexit.
The so-called “Brexit” from
the EU is expected to continue to jolt world financial markets. It would
also raise enormous questions about the future of the rest of the
28-country bloc, with Euroskeptic movements on the rise in several other
countries.
The Leave vote kick-starts a two-year period during
which Britain and the EU negotiate their terms of divorce. While the
pro-Brexit campaign insisted the EU would not be able to shun the
British market, Brussels is expected to adopt a tough negotiating stand
ito dissuade Euroskeptic movements around the content from trying to
follow Britain’s lead.
Even a close vote to Remain will create
questions about whether Mr. Cameron can manage his 12-seat majority in
the House of Commons after 138 of his 330 Conservative MPs, including
several prominent members of cabinet, revolted to join Vote Leave.

It's always about dead/injured children isn't it? It's like the sickest war mascot there is.
A close second is women- Sometimes pregnant women
Young men just can't be used to play the manipulative card as effectively.

But when a German rescuer who gave his name as Martin looked
closer, he noticed the "shining, friendly but motionless eyes" and the
body that looked like a doll with its "arms and tiny fingers stretched
toward the sky."

A German 'rescuer' whose name may or may not be Martin- "gave his name as" tells us this is likely a false name. No one checked the facts. Very descriptive recounting

According to the German aid group Sea-Watch, the baby was on a boat

So an NGO operative claimed this baby was on a refugee boat. Both Sea-Watch and the Italian navy participated in the rescue operation. According to "Martin". No verification other then from the person who gave his name as Martin

The rescuer, a father who usually works as a
music therapist in Germany and was volunteering with Sea-Watch, said of
his reaction to recovering the baby's corpse:"I wanted to scream, but I
decided to sing instead, in order to calm myself and the baby which
should never have died — and to give some kind of expression to this
incomprehensible, heartbreaking moment."

I wanted to scream but I decided to sing? I'm not believing this tale.

According to Martin, most of the other drowned refugees were women; two of them appeared to have been pregnant.

"The death of refugees is being tolerated to scare off others who might
come after them," Sea-Watch founder Harald Höppner was quoted as saying.

As a deterrent?!

A deterrent to who. Apparently not fleeing persons because we have NGO's continuing to show us images and present contrived narratives. Sort of a self serving narrative, no? We need NGO's to 'rescue' fleeing persons

Chancellor Angela
Merkel's cabinet agreed on Wednesday to expand the role of the German
navy in the Mediterranean Sea to include efforts to stop arms headed to
Islamic State militants in Libya, German Defence Minister Ursula von der
Leyen said.The German
decision comes days after the European Union gave its naval force the
authority to search suspicious vessels as part of its five-frigate
"Sophia" mission, which is also seeking to break up gangs smuggling
migrants to Europe.

Search suspicious vessels and break up gangs smuggling migrants to Europe- Very humanitarian- For all those humanitarian interventionists out there...

The mandate also covers work to help Libya build up a coastal patrol and navy.

And here is the real reason why Germany, after finding a baby, is expanding it's role in the Mediterranean.

"She said the expanded EU and German missions
followed a U.N. decision to reinforce an arms embargo on Libya, where
Islamic State fighters operate. "That sent a very strong signal," von
der Leyen said

Von der Leyen said
there were still some legal issues to resolve regarding Germany's
expanded role, but the cabinet decision and expected parliamentary
approval would allow the German military to begin detailed planning for
the bigger role."

Arms embargo? Or Arms delivery? Planning for the bigger role in attacking LibyaRecall this post from May 23/2016?

Looks to be a move to increase the weaponized migration into the EU
Among other agendas of course

"Daesh has deliberately opened a second front in Libya to break out of its encirclement in Syria-Iraq.
It has anything between 4,000 and 6,000 fighters in Libya, based on
Gaddafi’s old stronghold of Sirte. Despite ceding ground recently to
General Hafter’s National Army, Libyan Daesh last week inflicted heavy
casualties on militia units protecting Serraj’s puppet GNA.

Daesh conveniently moves to Libya... rolls eyes

At Nato’s July summit, the decision will be taken to blockade Libya’s 2,000-kilometre coast. Britain has already deployed a spy ship
(HMS Enterprise) to the area and US drones are flying daily across Libya
from the Italian island of Pantelleria. Various reputable media sources reveal there are already British, American, French and Italian Special Forces on the ground directing militia operations against Daesh. Come July expect renewed airstrikes targeting Daesh.

So, let's look at this from a realistic point of view-

Next month NATO will meet. One of their decisions (already made) will be to blockade Libya's 2,000 Kilometre Coast line in anticipation of beginning renewed airstrikes- Germany was missing from the mix of mass killers mentioned above, but not anymore- Thanks to a German NGO finding a 'dead baby'- which required Germany to expand it's military presence in the Mediterranean in order to participate in this NATO attack on Libya

And that's how you sell a war folks! Wave around some dead children. Dead babies. Have an NGO find the child, pregnant women whatever, in order to create a perception of being at a distance and then get your war on!

CAIRO – Fierce clashes in Libya between pro-government militiamen and Islamic State militants in the city of Sirte and an explosion at a depot near the capital, Tripoli, left more than 60 dead in just one day, a spokesman and a Libyan state news agency reported Wednesday.

In Sirte, the last bastion of the Islamic State group in the North African country, Tuesday’s clashes killed 36 militiamen aligned with the newly-UN brokered government. The militias, mainly from the western town of Misrata, have been leading an offensive since early May to take full control over Sirte.

At first, the militiamen rapidly advanced into the city but the push got bogged down in recent days amid a series of suicide bombings by IS. Along with the 36 militiamen killed, mostly in direct gun battles with IS militants, Misrata hospital spokesman Abdel-Aziz Essa also said that about 140 were wounded in Tuesday’s battles.

IS fighters reportedly have hunkered down at the militant group’s headquarters in Sirte, the sprawling Ouagadougou convention centre that was built by late dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Sirte was also Gadhafi’s birthplace and the city he fled to during the 2011 civil war, when Libyan rebels backed by NATO bombings forced him out of the capital, Tripoli.

Meanwhile, the state LANA news agency said an explosion at a depot on Tuesday in the town of Garabuli, near Tripoli, followed clashes with militias and killed 29 civilians.

According to a statement on the Facebook page of the Qarabouli municipal council, the clashes took place between militiamen in charge of the town security and armed local protesters. When the protesters stormed the militia’s barracks, the depot exploded, the statement said. It said that the depot housed firecrackers, not ammunition.

The U.N. envoy to Libya, Martin Kobler, said on his Twitter account he was “shocked and saddened by reported violence and lives lost in Garabuli tonight.”

The high death toll illustrates the violence that has roiled Libya since Gadhafi’s ouster and death in the 2011 uprising against his rule that turned into a civil war. Over the past years, rival militias and governments have torn the country apart while IS-linked militants gained strength, setting up a base in Sirte, along Libya’s central Mediterranean coast. As Libya slid into chaos, hundreds of thousands of mostly African migrants flooded the country’s coastline, attempting to cross to Europe.

Meanwhile, on a third front, inside the war-raged eastern city of Benghazi, army forces and local fighters have been battling Islamic extremists the past two years. The army is under the command of controversial commander Khalifa Hifter, who answers to the internationally-recognized parliament seated in eastern Libya.

Foreign military advisers have been working with different factions in Libya.

On Tuesday, the Marine Corps general Lt. Gen. Thomas D. Waldhauser who is nominated to lead U.S. forces in Africa said the United States has a small number of troops on the ground in Libya but that no more are needed “at the moment.”

Waldhauser testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, saying the Americans are in advisory roles in Libya while acknowledging that he isn’t aware of an “overall grand strategy” for Libya. The U.S. previously has conducted airstrikes in Libya, targeting Islamic State fighters and IS leaders.

For its part, the European Union on Monday boosted the role of its naval operation in the Mediterranean to counter the increasing numbers of desperate migrants trying to reach Europe.

EU foreign ministers agreed at talks in Luxembourg to extend their operation in Libya by another year and tasked it with building up Libya’s coast guard and navy. The operation will also help to police a U.N. arms embargo off the Libya coast.

Rights groups have warned that working with Libyan militias could come with a high cost, citing grave violations by militias acting on behalf of ruling authorities against the migrants

“If Donald Trump believed that the Orlando shooting and a renewed focus on terrorism would help boost his sagging presidential campaign, polls suggest it has had no such impact.

In fact, his reaction to the tragedy may be hurting him.

The presumptive Republican nominee is now trailing rival Hillary Clinton in CBC's weighted average of U.S. polls by a greater margin than two weeks ago. His support stands at 43.2 per cent among decided registered or likely voters, compared to 49.3 per cent for the presumptive Democratic nominee.

This represents a drop of 1.7 points for Trump in the weighted average of polls since June 8"

Compare Trump to Jo Cox and the Brexit vote- Where a specific incident has resulted in dramatically altered polls- Orlando & the incident at the Pulse club appear to have had the effect on the pulse of American voters in their ardour for Donald Trump

Let’s call it the “Pulse Cox” effect. For the hell of it! ;)
Punning aside- Another Trump Poll buster has surfaced. This one, I expected.
It seemed inevitable. Only coming down to when and where.

This links Trump very publicly to Jeffrey Epstein, yet again. When perception is everything and trial by media in the public arena is common place

The Real Deal was the first to report
on a new federal lawsuit against presumptive Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump, filed on Monday. In the suit, the unnamed
plaintiff accused Trump and hedge fund manager/registered sex
offender/”Lolita Express” operator Jeffrey Epstein of raping her in 1994
at a party at Epstein’s mansion when she was 13 years old. (The
complaint and attached affidavits are embedded at the end of this
article.) The Real Deal noted that a similar complaint was filed in
California back in April using an abandoned building as the plaintiff’s
address, and that case was dismissed due to paperwork issues.

Two affidavits are attached to the complaint: One is from the Jane Doe
plaintiff outlining the allegations made in her complaint; the other,
signed “Tiffany Doe,” claims to be from the woman who “was hired by and
paid directly by Mr. Epstein from the years of 1991-2000 to attract
adolescent women to attend these parties, most of which were held at
what is known as the Wexner Mansion.”

The allegations are not only categorically false, but
disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media
attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated. There is
absolutely no merit to these allegations. Period.

In her role working as Epstein’s “party planner,” Tiffany Doe claims to
have witnessed the rapes of the plaintiff and a then 12-year-old girl
whom the plaintiff implies was disappeared by Trump and Epstein. Tiffany
Doe worked for Epstein for a decade. “After leaving the employment of
Mr. Epstein in the year 2000,” she wrote, “I was personally threatened
by Mr. Epstein that I would be killed and my family killed as well if I
ever disclosed any of the physical and sexual abuse of minor females
that I had personally witnessed by Mr. Epstein or any of his guests.”

I guess Tiffany Doe is not concerned with being killed or having her family killed by Mr Epstein for disclosing this information about Trump? Could that be because Tiffany Doe is doing the bidding of Mr Epstein? Maybe?

Majestika left a link for a great interview; Jeffrey Epstein the
billionaire pedophile. I finally got to listen and it's worth the time
to do so! Particularly for those Donald Trump lovers who think he is not
totally owned. I have a few posts on the Mr Epstein here at the blog-
Epstein, Prince Andrew. Bill Clinton, Alan Dershowitz are also tight-

Trump is easily manipulated. Just like Hillary. But there can only be one President. Predictive programming informs us it won't be a man. Since man hating and bashing is all the rage. And us women folk got to stick together ;)

We’ve read and heard much about Syrian refugees. And the Syrian refugee crisis?
But just how Syrian are the refugees? And how Syrian is the crisis?
The answer to both questions? Not very Syrian at all!

But then I’ve mentioned that on a number of occasions, the large numbers of African refugees, in the pictures of so called Syrian refugees- So let's check this numbers breakdown from Washington Post?

What nags at me about this refugee saga?

1-Why LIE and claim these are Syrian refugees when clearly they are NOT Syrian citizens?
2- I wonder how many of these refugees, in this weaponized refugee movement are mercenaries? Paid fighters?

For example it is well known that “ISIS” recruited many Burmese/Myanmar fighters.
How many of them ended up in Canada and will end up in the US?
It’s been reported locally (where I live) with much fanfare the story of a Burmese family being brought here as Syrian refugees? How is that possible?Unless these are the families of the bought and paid for destabilizers?
Let’s just say I've lived my entire crime free life about 20 minutes from the US border. Very near to Niagara Falls, Ontario. And now Canada has imported a pile of persons, who they claimed were Syrian refugees, but don't appear to be.
The US has done the same.
Should we be concerned? I'm afraid so.

Think about this?

Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society,"

"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
